SC430

This is my 2002 Lexus SC430 that I have owned for nearly 4 years. I believe it has all the options available: leather, touch-screen navigation, Mark Levinson 9-speaker sound system, rear spoiler, heated seats with memory, CD changer, HomeLink, etc. You can get the full list of equipment here under 'Specifications'. The color is called 'Absolutely Red', and it is absolutely the color to have.  The red and tan color combo with the maple wood is just killer. The wood is real bird's-eye maple, no plastic imitations here.  It has 18" Sporza D5 chrome wheels replacing those ugly stock things.

The tires and rear brakes are nearly new, less than 2,000 miles. Fresh oil change and NH state inspection in September.  The retractable hardtop works flawlessly, as do all other creature comforts, no excuses.  It has been stored indoors in winters.  Complete with owner's manuals, full factory service manuals, nav DVD, socket for wheel locks, 2 keys with remote, and service records during my ownership.
I will also include a space-saver spare tire.  The SC430 was shipped from the factory with no spare because it had run-flat tires.  I don't like run-flats, so it now has regular 245/40R18 tires.  I bought a spare off eBay, just in case.  You can also get a kit from Lexus (or eBay) that has all the components to make this fit nicely in the trunk, but I didn't bother.  The Lexus tools are also included.

This has a rebuilt title. It was originally a Florida car, and was involved in an accident there in 2008.  It was purchased from the insurance company and professionally repaired in Illinois.  I do not have pictures before repair or know exactly what happened; I just know it was in the front.  When I purchased it in 2009, I had it inspected by Lexus of Northborough, MA, and they said all work had been done correctly and there was no suspension or frame damage. It now has 58,000 miles on it, and I have had -zero- problems with it beyond regular maintenance. This is a REBUILT title, not a SALVAGE title - big difference, no hassles with registration or insurance.  Unless you are looking to buy a car that is still under warranty, this should be a non-issue, but please check with your own DMV to be sure.  The dealer just completed an airbag recall that came out in September - full service, full tank of gas, and a car wash, all no charge.  I also own an Acura RL and a Mercedes SL55 AMG, and in my experience, Lexus service is by far the best.  This is an excellent chance to get an absolutely great deal on a great car.
Lexus style with Toyota reliability.

There are a couple of issues.  Nothing awful, but just so you know.   The driver's seat has a scratch in the bottom leather.  Not too bad, looks like maybe someone had a screwdriver in their pocket.  See photo.  The nose has many stone chips from lots of highway driving.  Again, see photos.  This is not a new car, so please don't expect it to be.  But even with the stone chips and some very small nicks, the paint is gorgeous.  The interior shows some age in the driver leather, but is overall very nice.  I don't think the rear seat has ever been used.

Please review all pictures below and call or e-mail me with questions.  NOTE:  the black thing with a wire on the top right corner of the windshield is an antenna for my portable satellite radio.  The antenna is magnetic and will be removed prior to sale.

If you want to talk, contact Dennis @ 603-249-6 oh 7 one.  I'm in Spofford, NH, just outside Keene, less than 2 hours from Boston or Hartford.  I am not a dealer, no fees, no taxes, no games.  Title in hand - please know what a rebuilt title means.  Inspections welcome BEFORE bidding.  It may get a few more miles on it before I let it go.  I will assist in any way I can in shipping, but shipping expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.  Pickup zip code is 03462.  Car does not leave the garage until all payments have cleared.  I will need a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours, and the balance within 10 days.  I recommend bank transfer for the least hassle; I will provide details if you choose this method of payment.  Good ol' Ben Franklins also work well.  For sale locally, ad may be canceled at any time.

Lexus gives IS early updates for 2015

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

After just a year on the road, Lexus is bringing some modest tech and style upgrades to the 2015 IS. There are no mechanical changes to speak of, but the refinements should spruce things up a little bit.
The only exterior change for the 2015 IS models is the addition of LED foglights, but as they say, it's what's on the inside that counts. All models get an improved radio with Siri Eyes Free voice command for iPhone 4S and 5 users, and the standard backup camera now includes dynamic grid lines. There is also new piano black trim around the instrument panel and window switches, and a Stratus Gray interior color replaces the previous Light Gray. Buyers get a one-year subscription to the Lexus Enform Remote, which allows drivers to use their smartphones to control some aspects of the car, like remotely locking the doors.
Vehicles ordered with the F Sport package get heated and ventilated front seats, and all-wheel-drive F Sport models get a heated steering wheel, as well. The warmed wheel is also optional on non-F all-wheel-drive models. It should keep drivers nice and toasty in the winter.

This is Lexus' trick 3D ad in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

Having driven its RC F into the party at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, Lexus is making the most of the exposure. We recently saw the blue coupe showing off its L-Finesse curves with a curvaceous Lisalla Montenegro. And a new video shows how the magazine ad will also work without a bikinied sidekick, showing off the Lexus' own body and sounds in a 3D app for iOS and Android.
After downloading the app and the 3D image for your tablet or phone, the 450-horsepower RC F will be yours to play with - or, as Lexus suggests, yours to "create the 3D experience in your own hands." You didn't have any other plans for your hands while checking out the new issue, did you? The video below will show you how it's done.

Are you the Lexus GS F?

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

It's been a while since we've heard rumors of the fabled high-performance Lexus GS F, but thanks to our eager spy photographers, this looks to be our first real proof of the machine's existence. We don't have the usual brace of photos from all angles to work with this time around, our spies saying that every time Lexus' garage door opened, engineers jumped in front of the cameras to prevent the car from being photographed.
Even so, we have a pretty clear glimpse at some significant changes to this GS sedan, including the same staggered, quad-pipe exhaust found on the Lexus IS F. There's also an air diffuser panel nestled between the exhaust outlets, as well as a larger lip spoiler and unique wheels (matching those of the RC coupe) wrapped in high-performance tires.
Last time we heard rumors of the GS F's existence, sources predicted that the M5-fighting sedan would use a tuned version of Lexus' 5.0-liter V8, producing something like 465 horsepower. We have also heard that the automaker plans to reduce weight wherever possible, and that the final curb weight will be something like 3,700 pounds.
